OastardIy Attempt of Human friends to
Wreck "a Passenger Train in Illinois.
CHICAGO, August 16.-A diabOhcal at
tempt was made to wreck a train on the Ga
lena division of the Northwestern railroad
last evening near Belvidere, which happily
proved abortive, owing to the nature of the
road at that point. The following account
of the event was given to a reporter by a pas
senger:
The affair occurred as We were coming
east from FreepOrt and about two miles on
the other side of Belvidere, just at the edge
of a small culvert, the trestIe work of which
was about fifteen feet long and the ditch
eight feet deep. Somebody placed a large
stone on the track and wedged it in between
the ties. The stone was placed there for q
design, as there is nobody in that neighbOr-
hood and it was wedged in tightly
between the ties. Some persons living
in the vicinity heard the noise of
the hammering on the road and went ont to
see what Was the matter. They heard the
parties running away and say there was at
/ least two and probably three OF them. Just
about that time the train came along.
We were running at the rate of about
thirty eight miles an hour, and the en-
CINE struck the obstacle and broke
the cOWcatcher, and the engine rose
from the track. The engine raised about a
foot, but I suppose it would be safer to say
three or four inches. Fortunately 1t fell
back on the rails again, as the road was
quite straight at that point. Had
there been curve there We
would have been ditched. The train
stopped and the train hands got out and
found the stone shattered by the collision.
Some of the pieces were as big as your fist
and some as large as your head. They were
picked up in all directions and some of
them had gone clear through the fence
at the side of the track, breaking
/ 1t in several places. The largest piece Of the
stone was found still Wedgsd between the ties
where it had been originally placed. The
parties who heard the hammering came up
and reported the fact, and how they had
heard the parties running away. The train
was composed of three cars, a bag
gage car q smoker and one passenger
coach. There were fifty passengers on
board. The train left FrsepOrt at O'Clock
and reached RockpOrt about s O'Clock. 1t
was about $50 when the trouble occurred.
I The only damage done was the breaking of
the cowcatcher and a bolt on the engine.
/ There was a delay OF only about ten minutes.

CHICAGO, August 19.-An Indianapolis
special says: A gentleman who has been
prominently identified with Orange county
affairs for years is In the city and gives a
terrible picture of the reign of fear in
Orange, Crawford and Harrison counties,
owing to the lawless ''White Caps" Organi-
ZatiOn. As he started from home yesterday,
he met an honest and we'll to do farmer, who
was hurrying away from home with his
family and such of his effects as he could
carry, impelled by the ''White Caps" who
had made an assault upon him and who
threatened him with death if he did not
leave the country. His premises have been
plundered by the outlaws and he was fright
ensd nearly to death. The informant stated
that no one could conceive OF the condi-
ton of affairs without actual experience.
Some idea Of the general fear which prevails
NAV be had from the fact that the gentle
man is here to urge upon the governor the
necessity of calling out the militia, but re-
Questsd that IN giving information Of the out
RACES that his name be omitted from the pub
LEGATION of the facts.

CUTE BILLS" THEORY.

No Necessity for TrooDs-C Cowboys and
Ranchmen Able to Oueu CoIoro,V' s
Crowd.
CHICAGO, August IA local paper says:
Lieutenant William Wilson, also known as
Cute Bill, " is in the city, having come from
the scene of the outbreak within month.
He says that CoIorOw has but forty fighting
bucks in his band, but every one of them is
well mounted and armed. COIOrOw himself
Is TO years of age, but active and hearty. He
is intelligent, speaks English and has been
in Denver and Georgetown. The old fellow
is wealthy for an Indian and his property
consists mostly of horses.
If COIOrOW should make a successful raid
his band would perhaps be increased to 100
fighting bucks. 1t VIII hardly be necessary
to send troops, for the reason that th9re are
enough cowboys and ranchers in the terri
tory to protect themselves and make it warm
for the Utes. Lieutenant Wilson says there
is danger that tourists and hunting parties
will be caught and cut of. Rock Greek,
Steamboat Springs and other places IN their
vicinity are fayOrites with tourists and hunt
ing parties.

WASHINGTON, August 19.-The war depart
ment authorities have received an official in
formation on which to base fears of a serious
outbreak among the White River Utes. The
latest information received at the war de-
partment about the reported outbreak
and, in fact, the first from a military
source Is the following dispatch, which the
adjutant general has received from Major
Randlett, of the Ninety-first infantry, who
is in command of Fort DuChssne, under
date of August 10:
s'RumOrs from the Colorado line received
careful attention on Sunday last. Burns
sent to Meeker an employee named Mac
Andrews, with Charley Cavanaugh, Nc
Cook and six other Utes, to ascertain the
facts. Upon receipt of the telegram
this morning drove over TO Ouray, where
Burns Is revising the pay rolls OF the In
cOmpahgres. While there a letter as fol
lows was received from McAndreWs:
''RANGELY, Colo, August lJ,-Everythi
is all right on the Blue mountains and
here. The whites seem to think that the
people around Meeker are badly scared
Have seen nobody who knows anything
from Meeker. VIII leave after dinner for
Meeker The Indians with me want me to
tell Indians at Uintah and Ouray not to be
scared. AIcCOOk and myself 90 to Meeker,
and 1 viii write you again when L find more
out.
''The Indians living at the agencies are
undisturbed and all are at home. Old Col
GROW is said to be hunting in the mountains
of Colorado, and young COlOrOW, his son, Is
with NJ. G. Andrews"

SAN ANTONIO, TEX, August 1G.-New-

was led to II by nelghbOr, and he has once
since visited 1t. 1t is situated near the track

rocks OF small diameter, not three feet
across from which Is emitted a continuous
blast of air of astounding force.

My companion, observing my fear, looked
at me with amusement and caTelesslV SAID,
oh. that Is the hole he guided me over
rocky, broken ground, which made very
perIlOus riding, until we reached a small
plateau which formed the level summit of a
low hill. From the very center of this
elevated place the thunderOus roar
seemed TO come. Going near saw
a circular s5ure in the solid rock, from
which the air was expelled with fear
ful velocity and extreme loudness. Its res
pIraLlOn seemed to be well nigh human,
having condensed rise and fall, that is to
say, there was periodic growth and lessen
ing IN It's always terrible force. l held my
hat IN the current and it was torn from my
hand and shot fifty feet IN the air, falling
fifteen yards away.

the morning. 1 next went near the hole

1t some 200 yards away at O'Clock in the
evening, and the roar was plainly audible at

from its momentum and kissing sound, un-
dOubtedly forced to the surface by some
great interior power, could, 1 believe, be
utilized cor heavy machinery"

CITY OF MEXICO, August 18.-The strike on
the Mexican Central road seriously inter
feres with the running of trains about nifty
engineers having left their locomotives with
their tiremen. The officials are hiring all
the competent men available. Freight viii
be kept back from the United States until
the freight engines can be manned 1t IS
reported that some of the strikers now re-
gard the movement as q bad bIunder and
the question Is beginning 70 be asked, II
Sutler, who issued the order for the strike as
chief Of the Brotherhood OF Locomotive In
gineers for Mexico, did not usurp an su-
thority belonging only to Chief Arthur.
Officials of the company say that the cause
OF the strike was frivolous, and that they
cannot give an inchs having already acceded
to an reasonable demands. Public opinion
does not sustain the strikers.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 17.-COlorOw,
the Ute, who Is now doing the disturbance
on the Colorado border, Is a 800 FOUNDER,
sir. R. II. Sylvester, of this city, who viii
be recalled in St. Louis as the son of Major
r. II. Sylvester, at the time connected with
and Times, but now editor of the Washing
ton Critic, was secretary of the Ute commits
sion of 1882, and remembers COlOrOw very
Well He Is big, fat and sassy, -
but Mr.. Sylvester says he Is a warrior and
VIII die fighting COlorOW, Mr.. Sylvester
believes, took part in the fright
fUl Aleeker massacre mt the White
River agency. Among his associates was
Captain Jack, who, when prisoner was
ordered to leave his tent and, upon his re-
existence at the same time with a mountain
hawILzer. COlOrOw and his band, MIR. Syl-
VesueF says. are good lighters and are sup
piled with excellent arms. In the lava beds
they could resist large body of troops Tor
a long time. COlOrOW used to visit Denver
often and, on one occasion went TO Gov
eEuOr AlcCOOk's Office and became rather IN
sOleut. Governor MCCOOk solved the Indian
question right there. He kicked COlOrOW out
of his office and down a flight of stairs into
the street, introducing a style of warfare
with which the huge savage was not fam1l-
lar. COlOrOW was one of the hrst OF the
Utes TO express dissatisfaction with the ef-
fort 10 deprive the Utes OF their rich lands.
The Utes were, however finally removed,
driven from their fine lands at the point Of
the bayOnet and settled IN Utah upon an arid
lava bed tract. COlOrOW resisted all the
time. lie would not stay in Utah, but re-
turned to western Colorado with sixty braves
and their families. He used to go to the
agency, however, when the anuulues were
distributed and claim his share. Since 1850,
Mr.. Sylvester says, COlorow has been adding
to his following from the dissatisfied Utes OF
different tribes.

- ChatsWorth NerdLet.

CHICAGO, August 1S.-A special to the
Nslrs from ChatswOEth, Ill, says: The cor
oner's jury agreed on a verdict this morning
which holds Timothy COughlan, foreman of
section z, to the grand jury, and negatively
exonerates the company. The management
is not censured for running adouble-header,
for their lax system of track inspection, OF
for ANYTHING else. The verdict simply says
that the failure TO patrol the track for SIX
hours before the train came and the habit OF
burning grass close 10 the track are subjects
for criticism. The three or four friends OF
the road on the jury had better staying quail
ities than the two or three of those who
